[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2709057, member: 71221"] Here is a visual example of why the SAUM is better suited to a short action than a WSM. Left to right - 300 SAUM, 6.5 SAUM Improved necked up to 30 cal and 300WSM. COAL on the SAUM cartridges is 2.950 with a Berger 185 Juggernaut with the bearing surface above the neck/shoulder junction. The WSM is seated at 2.980 and the bearing surface is slightly below the neck/shoulder junction. This is really of no importance if you are shooting one and done and not reloading. Another thing to note, the improved version of the SAUM cade actually has higher powder capacity than the WSM. EDIT: I’ll post the picture with the bullets seated tomorrow. I thought I had it on my phone but I don’t. [/QUOTE]
